Audio-Technica Ath-M20X Review

The sound profile is neutral leaning. For the most part, bass frequencies are conveyed with a slight emphasis, although the lowest notes are rolled off, meaning you hear less bass depth, or thump and rumble. Besides a dip where the high-bass meets low-mid, the mid-range is quite consistent, which suits most genres well. Still, that dip occurs where a lot of instruments reproduce. The treble frequencies suffer with dips and peaks, leading to vocals and instruments that take a hit. Fine details like articulation are veiled and less clear. Sibilants like cymbals are largely dulled.
